Yes, your electric vehicle will be covered in the same way as all other motor vehicles having a petrol or diesel engine and the full policy benefits will apply depending on the type of cover you have. For example, fire and theft damage is covered under both comprehensive and Third Party Fire & Theft policies while any damage caused following lightning, storm and flood, is covered under a comprehensive policy. We further provide an additional benefit to Comprehensive and Third Party Fire & Theft policies covering electric private cars. This benefit provides cover up to €20,000 or the market value at the time (whichever is the lower) for damage to your electric car following a short-circuit to the drive battery and up to €1,000 for scrapping of the drive battery and/or decontamination of your electric car following accidental loss or damage covered by the policy.
